I want somehow to keep the inside closed 3D surface (which looks like a 3D star) and delete the eight open parts which surround it. I tried several combinations using RegionPlot3D but the particular range of $x$, $y$ and $z$ prevent me from obtaining what I want. Any suggestions?

EDIT

If you increase the value of E0 then after a certain value the three-dimensional surface opens and eight channels of escapes (holes) appear. Using this code

OK, my question is the following: How can I draw the surface and manipulate the openings at the minimum width. Let me be more specific. Now, using the current code the size of the openings is controlled by the cutoff surface and the particular value of $R0$. If for example, I use $R0 = 2.5$ then I loose essential parts of the surface.

What I want is to define such a cutoff surface or find the specific value of $R0$ so that the external cutoff surface to abut exactly against the inner surface thus, drawing the openings at their minimum width.

Great! Could you explain a little bit how this particular RegionFunction come from? I mean which theory is behind it.

When $V$ has another mathematical expression then the appropriate RegionFunction changes. However, I cannot understand how the function $3 - \sqrt{x^2 y^2 + y^2 z^2} > 0$ come from. It is essential to me to know how to obtain this function every time. So, please enlighten me a little bit!

@Vaggelis_Z If you have a surface like yours that is a generalised "sphere" in that you can permute any two cartesian coordinates and get the same expression, you need to define your cutoff as something with larger radius or slightly deformed. Does that help?

Yes indeed, now everything is very clear. Thank you very much!
